Social Media Untangled: Episode 1 – Reddit.

Jan 28, 2013

Here at RibbonFish we’re quite a varied bunch, with a diverse set of interests and skills. I was employed in 2012 as our Digital Marketing Assistant to implement a blogging and social media campaign, but we want to share some of our knowledge with you too.

So, twice a week for the foreseeable future, we’ll be looking into some of the less widely understood social media outlets and what they might be able to do for your business. Most of us know about Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn – but there are loads more out there that can help your business development and, ultimately, bottom line profit.

How is it good for businesses?… Content marketing is essential to any digital marketing strategy. Whether you’re a B2B or B2C company, Reddit provides another outlet for your content. If you have an interesting opinion or an insight into the latest news in your field, Reddit can help that story go viral – therefore increasing your credibility as a writer, giving your brand and your skills invaluable exposure, and hopefully driving huge traffic towards your site and your service or product. It doesn’t even need to be a tremendous effort outside of your usual blogging habits, as all you need to do is submit the article you’ve already written.

Follow “reddiquette”. Users don’t react kindly to spam so the rules are pretty strict. Read all the guidelines here.

Stay tuned for the rest of this social media series, where we’ll be looking into sites like FourSquare, Google+, SlideShare, Pinterest, and more… including some great business social media success stories. We’d be delighted to hear your thoughts or questions, just leave your comments below and register with us for easier access.
